This children's story about some boys whose invention goes out of control is set in the period just before the fall of the Iron Curtain. The adventure takes place shortly before 9 November 1989 when the Berlin Wall, symbol of a divided Germany, came down. For ten-year-old Friederik, the autumn has been a catastrophe: his beloved uncle Mike has been banished from East Germany and must leave the country in two days. With the help of Jonathan and Fabian, boys of the same age, Friederik constructs a machine that is supposed to transport his uncle back. Their invention fails and the boys find themselves in the western sector of Berlin. (Finále Plzeň)
